Soldier Girl

My husband has owned an army green button-up shirt
for several years, but has never worn it since it doesn't quite fit. It didn't fit me either, despite several attempts (rolling up sleeves, pinning it,
etc.). We've debated giving it away a few times, but always decide that the shirt
is far too cool to discharge. And since both of our grandfathers, several of our uncles, and my dad proudly served in the military, we like having a garment that
reminds us of their courage. For the last few years, the top has been in the
(closet) reserves. With the help of my bump, it's now back on active style
duty!
To glam up the shirt, I paired it with white cuffed pants, a vintage purse, chunky
heels, and a pearl necklace. Other ideas for military-inspired fashion are wearing a camo print top or purse, or hunting through an army surplus store for a cool jacket. Just be sure to stick to one military piece and pair it with neutrals or feminine accents. What do you think - should this look receive a
dishonorable discharge or stay on the front lines?
